One Last Tear

Riding distressed air, thoughts wander off 
Disrupting poise and shaking her resolve
As the blue skies yield to darkened clouds 
And sunny day concedes to advent of dark.

Looking for warmth she reaches far back
Reminiscing allure of moonlit ambiance
When holding hands under luminous stars
Amatory vibes twinkled dreamy romance.

Not a word he says about impending plight 
Wrapping around her a reassuring stance,
Humming a tune from the sensuous past
Looking for sunshine amidst dreary storm.

Tomorrow will be the first day of new life
As countdown begins to how long he lives.
She'll be ready with the will of almighty,
Defying death at the entrance of mortality.

Much as they try to verbalize what's ahead
Silence manifests when words are needed.
A kiss of passion says she'll love him always
As one last tear sheds in grip of his embrace.

"One Last Tear" dribbling down the heart.. sorrowful ripples over a "dreamy romance"! No words could eclipse the grace of silence.. No words could restrain the heartfelt flow of "one last year"! Your poetry do not cease to amazingly touch the heart! Always a great pleasure to read.. A great verse and a FAV. as it is a win for me! My warmest regards dear Vijay. Blessings.
